my friends older brother convinced her that these rabbit droppings he found were chocolate drops. She still, twenty years down the line, cringes at the memory of the taste of these chocolate droppings.

When I was about five I asked my dad what the hole in the middle of a guitar was for. He told me that it was where mice lived. I believed this until I was about ten, I think.

When I was young, mum would get up and declare that she was "going to see a man about a dog". I was thrilled because I loved dogs. Turns out she wasn't seeing anyone, but visiting the bathroom!

I used to sleep with the covers over my head cause I thought my pet fish would jump out of their bowls and bite me.

on a family holiday we were travelling to an unfamiliar area that had a lot of farming. In the taxi ride from the airport my younger brother aged 2 pointed excitedly at some cows in a field 'look mummy! goats!'. I, the all-knowing 4 yr old corrected him immediately. 'Don't be silly Edward, they're not goats, they're catholics'. Apparently the taxi driver nearly drove off the road..shaking with laughter.

Since cows gave us milk to drink, I used to believe that horses gave us water. Made sense to me and my 6 year old friends!

I used to believe that seasuits were little suits for sea horses. I discovered this was untrue when I went snorkeling. I asked my mom why they didn't have their suits on and she said they never had any.

You have to understand I live in Montana up north. I used to believe that there were aligators in Montana. I thought they would eat me. I think I got the Idea from the crazy eyed crocodile in Peter Pan. Hehe

I thought the goldfish in our tank looked thirsty so I pured 2 pints of milk in the tank. Mummy wasn't pleased to find 3 floating goldfish in a white tank.

When i went to the horse farm in the second grade, a boy told me if i touched the special fence (which was actually a electrical wire fence to keep the horses inside)i touched the fence and screamed so the horse looked at me. I thought that was true so i kept doing it, later on finding out they only looked at me because i screamed

When I was young, I used to wonder what if the animals turned into humans while the humans were away.

When I was about 3 we lived on a small farm with a pond. I heard this bullfrog at night and didn't know what it was, so I asked my mother. She offhandedly said "It's a bullfrog - that's a great big boy frog that lives in the pond. He's calling out because it's warm."

Although she meant "great big" in comparison to the other (female) frogs I thought she meant in comparison to HERSELF. Therefore I imagined this 7 or 8 foot frog in that bitty pond and wondered why I hadn't seen him, but was too afraid to go look.

A few years later I saw a bullfrog and realized what she meant.

When I was about 3 I asked my mom where baby horses came from. She told me about "the birds and the bees." Afterwards I responded "Oh. I thought it had something to do with their feet."

I use to belive that sharks were really nice and wouldn't eat you and that they loved choclate bars. Well i really wanted to see one so i brought a couple of hershey bars. Well, i would throw them in and they would sink a little ways after so i would swim really fast to see a shark, sadley enough i never did.

I used to, when I was about 5, believe that flamingoes only had one leg. I thought that, to fly, they would hop really fast on that one leg and then try to fly. I didn't learn this until many yrs later. I still get teased about it.

When I was a little kid (like 4 or 5) my dad raised pigs. About once a year the pigs would be picked up and taken to away. I could never figure out where these pigs were being taken to. One day I asked my dad "where do the pigs go when the farmer comes and picks them up?" My father kind of stunned by the question immediatly said "the pigs are going to camp".

You'd think that I'd be scared for life and never want to go to any camp. I'm 20 now and every time I go to a camp or something like that it makes me think "am I gonna get back from this?"
